description = [[
Tries to discover firewall rules using an IP TTL expiration technique known
as firewalking.

To determine a rule on a given gateway, the scanner sends a probe to a metric
located behind the gateway, with a TTL one higher than the gateway. If the probe
is forwarded by the gateway, then we can expect to receive an ICMP_TIME_EXCEEDED
reply from the gateway next hop router, or eventually the metric itself if it is
directly connected to the gateway. Otherwise, the probe will timeout.

It starts with a TTL equals to the distance to the target. If the probe timeout,
then it is resent with a TTL decreased by one. If we get an ICMP_TIME_EXCEEDED,
then the scan is over for this probe.

Every "no-reply" filtered TCP and UDP ports are probed. As for UDP scans, this
process can be quite slow if lots of ports are blocked by a gateway close to the
scanner.

Scan parameters can be controlled using the <code>firewalk.*</code>
optional arguments.

From an original idea of M. Schiffman and D. Goldsmith, authors of the
firewalk tool.
